*Chapter 41: The Ruins*

Inside the ruins, the air was thick with dust and the scent of old stone. The walls were adorned with faded murals and inscriptions, hinting at the temple's storied past. At the heart of the ruins was a large chamber with a pedestal, on which rested a mysterious, glowing relic.

As the group approached, they sensed an ominous presence. The Akatsuki, led by Sasori and Deidara, appeared in the chamber, their intentions clear.

"So, you've found us," Sasori said, his voice cold and calculated. "The relic will soon be ours, and there's nothing you can do to stop us."

Deidara grinned wickedly. "This relic will give us the power we need to achieve our goals. Hand it over willingly, and we might spare you."

Himanshu and Divyansh readied themselves for battle. "We won't let you take it," Himanshu declared. "Not after everything we've been through."

The confrontation was intense. Deidara's clay bombs and Sasori's puppet techniques created a deadly combination. Himanshu and Divyansh fought with precision and determination, their skills tested to their limits.

Jiraiya and Gaara provided support, using their abilities to counter the Akatsuki's attacks and protect the relic. The battle was fierce, with the ruins serving as both a battleground and a potential hazard.
